Kelydra, named after the American turtle that lives in the Ohi River, Chelydra, has always had a deep affectin fr the river that flws past her hmetwn.
It seemed natural t Kelydra t learn hw the wrld wrked by ding science experiments, with a father wh is a chemist and am ther a bilgist. In kindergarten, she cnducted her first experiment. At the age f six, Kelydra jined the Ohi River Cleanup campaign and came t realize hw plluted the river was. In middle schl, inspired by tw famus envirnmental scientists, she setup her wn lab behind her huse, studying the effects f chemicals in the river n the breeding habits f msquites.
At 15, Kelydra fund that a chemical called C8, als used in varius prducts like clthing and fd packaging, had been plluting her lcal river fr 50 years and been detected in drinking water and in the bdies f peple and animals.
Determined t slve the issue, Kelydra began her experiment. She discvered that shaking water with high amunts f C8 created fam. The mre C8, the mre fam. The plluted water didn’t have enugh C8 t make it fam, s Kelydra biled her water sample t reduce the amunt f water and increase the cncentratin f C8. Kelydra then shk the cntainer and measured the height f the fam n the water surface. With this infrmatin, she culd calculate the level f pllutin f the riginal water sample.
Then she develped a methd t remve C8 frm the water using a special cell and activated carbn, creating a system that peple culd use t treat their wn husehld drinking water. Kely dra patented it, funding the $1, 020.80 registratin fee by recycling ver 50,000 cans herself. The system is being used in her cmmunity, and she hpes smeday it will be used mre widely.
After high schl, Kelydrais studying chemistry in cllege, specifically fcusing n the water system due t ptential health cncerns. “Technlgy helped create ur prblems, and technlgy can help slve them. I want t be part f that effrt.” she said.

The NeurSkin, an artificial intelligence (AI) pwered suit designed t aid in walking, has been tested by tw individuals recvering frm strkes. This marks the first use f such technlgy in the UK, specifically at the Mrrell Clinic in Newprt, Wales.
The first testers, wh culd mve a bit and walk with a stick, were part f a small test befre a bigger ne planned fr later this year. The main gal f the NeurSkin suit is t help peple regain strength and mtr functin t speedup recvery.
The suit, cntrlled by artificial intelligence, sends a series f small electrical shcks t the wearer’s legs which stimulate weak muscles t bst activity and increase strength and crdinatin. With a main cmputer wrn in a vest, it cmes with a variety f sizes fr men’s and wmen’s trusers, as well as slippers. Accrding t Jakk Bruwers, the clinical directr at Mrrell , the suit immediately imprved the walking ability f strke survivrs when activated.
Julie Llyd, 65, culd climb stairs fr the first time since her brain injury after using the device. An ex-firefighter als saw imprvements. There are plans fr mre trials in Octber, as mre data is needed. They hpe t add five mre peple t the trial by the end f the year.
The suit is nt designed t be a permanent slutin fr peple with mvement issues but as a tl t help with recvery. “The suit shws them hw they need t walk, and then they have t d the walk themselves. It is nt ging t cntrl their lives, but t help them learn a prper walking pat tem.” Mr Bruwers said. It is particularly beneficial fr individuals wh have had a strke. Later this year, the team hpes t try the suit n a persn with a spinal crd (脊柱) injury t see hw well it wrks fr varius prblems.
8. What is the primary functin f the NeurSkin suit?
A. T replace physical treatment.
B. T enhance physical appearance.
C. T fix mvement prblems permanently.
D. T help faster recvery by imprving strength.
9. Hw des the NeurSkin suit wrk?
A. It stimulates muscles with slight shcks.
B. It aids in walking with physical supprt.
C. It prmtes muscle grwth thrugh a sht.
D. It uses electric shcks t imprve mental health.
10. What will the fllw-up test prbably fcus n regarding the suit?
A. Its wider applicatin.B. Its durability.
C. Its recvery impact.D. Its cmfrt and cnvenience.
11. Where is the text mst prbably taken frm?

Cnsider a situatin where yu’re playing a card game with a child. She is abut t pick the lsing card in yur hand. Yu think abut hw excited she’d be if she wn, s yu tell her that she might want t select anther card. She des, and she wins. Yu’re bth happy. But was letting her win a wise mve?
Psychlgists and parenting experts have lng said kids need t lse nce in a while. They claim that lsing at games r sprts helps children build cping skills, and learn what the real wrld is like.
In a recent study, researchers cnducted an experiment where 4- and 5-year-lds played a game with hidden bjects and clues frm tw adults. One gave accurate clues, the ther false. Then, the researchers set up the game s that half f the kids always fund the hidden bject, n matter what the adults said. The remaining children played a game left t chance, where they were mre likely t find the hidden bject if they listened carefully and figured ut which adult gave useful clues.
Later, the researchers asked the kids wh they wuld chse t help them find mre hidden things. Unsurprisingly, kids wh had t figure ut the clues preferred the adult wh gave crrect hints. But the kids wh always fund the bject didn’t care which adult helped them. This suggests if kids always win, they might nt learn t ntice imprtant infrmatin.
This relates t “trphy culture” where kids get rewards just fr taking part. While it might seem nice, it can backfire. Children might start t think they deserve rewards just fr shwing up.
“Gd self-esteem cmes frm mastery. If we dn’t let children fail, they’ll miss the chance t wn their success,” says therapist Nicki Nance.
Hwever, sme experts argue that bsting cnfidence thrugh participatin isn’t bad, as lng as kids learn the difference between real achievement and just taking part. Als, t much praise can make kids less resilient (有韧性的, 适应性强的). Praise shuld be saved fr when kids d smething really impressive.
12. Why shuld kids experience lsing smetimes, accrding t experts?
A. T ensure adults win.B. T make games interesting.
C. T cntrl children’s cnfidence.D. T develp difficulty-addressing ability.
13. What did researchers find abut children wh always fund the hidden bject?
A. They trusted any clues given.
B They always chse the same adult.
C. They ften ignred wh helped them.
D. They preferred the adult with crrect clues.
14. What des Nicki Nance believe is imprtant fr building cnfidence in children?
A. Giving frequent praise.B. Experiencing failure.
C. Rewarding participatin.D. Always letting them win.
15. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Learning thrugh LsingB. Teaching Kids t Be Strng
C. Risks f Cnstant WinsD. Benefits f Participatin

Kelydra, named after the American turtle that lives in the Ohi River, Chelydra, has always had a deep affectin fr the river that flws past her hmetwn.
It seemed natural t Kelydra t learn hw the wrld wrked by ding science experiments, with a father wh is a chemist and am ther a bilgist. In kindergarten, she cnducted her first experiment. At the age f six, Kelydra jined the Ohi River Cleanup campaign and came t realize hw plluted the river was. In middle schl, inspired by tw famus envirnmental scientists, she setup her wn lab behind her huse, studying the effects f chemicals in the river n the breeding habits f msquites.
At 15, Kelydra fund that a chemical called C8, als used in varius prducts like clthing and fd packaging, had been plluting her lcal river fr 50 years and been detected in drinking water and in the bdies f peple and animals.
Determined t slve the issue, Kelydra began her experiment. She discvered that shaking water with high amunts f C8 created fam. The mre C8, the mre fam. The plluted water didn’t have enugh C8 t make it fam, s Kelydra biled her water sample t reduce the amunt f water and increase the cncentratin f C8. Kelydra then shk the cntainer and measured the height f the fam n the water surface. With this infrmatin, she culd calculate the level f pllutin f the riginal water sample.
Then she develped a methd t remve C8 frm the water using a special cell and activated carbn, creating a system that peple culd use t treat their wn husehld drinking water. Kely dra patented it, funding the $1, 020.80 registratin fee by recycling ver 50,000 cans herself. The system is being used in her cmmunity, and she hpes smeday it will be used mre widely.
After high schl, Kelydrais studying chemistry in cllege, specifically fcusing n the water system due t ptential health cncerns. “Technlgy helped create ur prblems, and technlgy can help slve them. I want t be part f that effrt.” she said.

Cnsider a situatin where yu’re playing a card game with a child. She is abut t pick the lsing card in yur hand. Yu think abut hw excited she’d be if she wn, s yu tell her that she might want t select anther card. She des, and she wins. Yu’re bth happy. But was letting her win a wise mve?
Psychlgists and parenting experts have lng said kids need t lse nce in a while. They claim that lsing at games r sprts helps children build cping skills, and learn what the real wrld is like.
In a recent study, researchers cnducted an experiment where 4- and 5-year-lds played a game with hidden bjects and clues frm tw adults. One gave accurate clues, the ther false. Then, the researchers set up the game s that half f the kids always fund the hidden bject, n matter what the adults said. The remaining children played a game left t chance, where they were mre likely t find the hidden bject if they listened carefully and figured ut which adult gave useful clues.
Later, the researchers asked the kids wh they wuld chse t help them find mre hidden things. Unsurprisingly, kids wh had t figure ut the clues preferred the adult wh gave crrect hints. But the kids wh always fund the bject didn’t care which adult helped them. This suggests if kids always win, they might nt learn t ntice imprtant infrmatin.
This relates t “trphy culture” where kids get rewards just fr taking part. While it might seem nice, it can backfire. Children might start t think they deserve rewards just fr shwing up.
“Gd self-esteem cmes frm mastery. If we dn’t let children fail, they’ll miss the chance t wn their success,” says therapist Nicki Nance.
Hwever, sme experts argue that bsting cnfidence thrugh participatin isn’t bad, as lng as kids learn the difference between real achievement and just taking part. Als, t much praise can make kids less resilient (有韧性的, 适应性强的). Praise shuld be saved fr when kids d smething really impressive.
12. Why shuld kids experience lsing smetimes, accrding t experts?
A. T ensure adults win.B. T make games interesting.
C. T cntrl children’s cnfidence.D. T develp difficulty-addressing ability.
13. What did researchers find abut children wh always fund the hidden bject?
A. They trusted any clues given.
B. They always chse the same adult.
C. They ften ignred wh helped them.
D. They preferred the adult with crrect clues.
14. What des Nicki Nance believe is imprtant fr building cnfidence in children?
A. Giving frequent praise.B. Experiencing failure.
C. Rewarding participatin.D. Always letting them win.
15. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Learning thrugh LsingB. Teaching Kids t Be Strng
C. Risks f Cnstant WinsD. Benefits f Participatin

【20题详解】
上文提到“We gave up ur time t help ut at the Festival, despite the bad weather, with n idea f what ur rle wuld be.(我们放弃了时间去帮助节日，尽管天气不好，也不知道我们的角色会是什么)”。但接下来却提到“Fr example, we gt mre chairs fr the stage when required.(例如，当需要时，我们为舞台准备了更多的椅子。)”，即我们还做了其他的事情，比如为舞台提供更多的椅子。因此，可以推断出我们不仅在重要任务上有所贡献，还在其他方面提供了帮助。G项：We nt nly had an imprtant jb but als helped in ther ways(我们不仅有一项重要的工作，而且在其他方面也提供了帮助)符合语境。故选G。
